He Had to be Thrown, and He Broke a
Tusk in Failing.
Eron. the Melc York Ntbnne.


Prince, Plate and Gypsy are three fair
sized elephants that are now enjoying life in
Hoboken stable Like all elephants, they
have no particular use for boots and shoes,
but nevertheless, they are heirs to some of
the evils that atlict the feet, and Prince
looked yesterday as if he were Illuminating
over the old proverb, Large aches from
little toe-corns grows"
None Of the elephants had had its feet
trimmed for some time, and Prince needed
attention at once, for he limped now and
then as if he had invested in a pair Of boots
too tight for him, and he looked distressed

pointed yesterday for the operation. Princes
feet had not been trimmed since August.

keeper seized its tall and restrained its ener-
CIV and the other two men pushed with all
their might to make the big fellow go over.
But he would not stir and he trumpeted all
the notes in the elephant scale that denote
wrath A stout rope was finally tied
around his body and then a strong pull
brought him to his knees This treatment
brought out a succession of deep-chested
roars prolonged to shrill toots that fright
ened the dogs in the yard into their kennels,
nearly scared the feathers off the rooster
and blanched the black skin of three little
negroes that were peeping through the win
dow. Another tug and push turned the
huge beast over on his side with crash and
he was so frightened at first that he gave
an imitation of an elephant in faint. Prince
broke his right tusk off short in falling, but
he did not appear to notice it.
1t was found that from standing on in
clined planks SO long the heels of the Soles
of his hind feet had been turned up a little,
causing a bad break in the flesh on either
side of each foot. The sore were sponged
with warm water, and then sprinlSed with
water containing little carbolic acid. The
elephant lay perfectly quiet when he saw that
something was being done TO relieve his pain.
Tho next time we have to treat his feet
said Mr.. Reche, "Prince will go over at
command, for he will remember this"
The rope united, Prince rose to his feet
and trumpeted that he was glad that the
operation was over and that he did not like
it at all. The other two elephants rapidly
exchanged signs as if they We're trying
to toss up to see which would be the next
victim But further operations for the day
were postponed.
Prince is about Is years, old, weighs
nearly two tons and stands not quite eight
feet high The elephants are owned by

GLADSTONE AND A sia MUM.
They Seem to Differ Slightly to An
gio- American Relations.

LONDON, April y. Gladstone visited the
American exhibition and also the Indian
camp of the braves attached to Buffalo
Bills Wild West show Thursday. He was
much Impressed with the scenes at be latter
place, where he was treated to a special ex-
hibitIon which startled the visitors aud af-
fected Gladstone with a chili-iike de-
ligat. After the performance Glad
stone was introduced to Chief Rel
Shirt, with whom he held a lengthy
conversation. Gladstone asked Red Shirt
if he noticed any difference between
the English and Americans, and whether he
regarded them as brothers Red Shirt re-
piled that be did not notice much about the
brot herhuod.
The officials of the American exhibition
gave lunch in honor of Giadstones
visit, at which Col Russell. of Bos-
ton, presided in replying to a
toast to his health, Gladstone said that the
| institutions and progress of America had al
ways been a subject of great interest to him.
Ever since very many years ago, when he
studied the life of George Washington, he
had become aware, first, of the magnitude OF
the destiny which had been reserved for
Americans; and secondly, that the period of
the birth of the American state was of more
interest than any other it was possible to
study. Whenever a youth DESTROYS of study
! ing political life consulted him respecting a
| course OF study in the iisli OF history, he al
ways referred HIM 10 the early history of
| America. God Almighty male Engishmen
an Americans kinsnen. They ought to have
affection Tor one another If they hal not,
| humanity would cry shame upon them. HI
! rejolced that The clouds which had ohscure,l
! their mutual visi m had almost vanishe
I from the political sky and that the future
| was as bright and promising as the warmest
! hearted aWoug them could desire.
